Vince Gilligan's Symbolism

I'm continuing to look at symbolism in "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul". I was struck by the similarities in composition between this image of Jimmy McGill's Nail Salon office and Salvador Dali’s 1954 “Corpus Hypercubus”.

Dali was convinced that the separate worlds of science and religion can coexist. I attended a talk a year ago (Davis, CA: 12/10/15) where Vince Gilligan expressed essentially the same thought.
